S. from Wil- braham Academy. Without him, we do not know how the “Exponent” Scandal sheet could have survived, all the news appearing to be in “Ernie’s” hands.

WALTER ELWOOD GRANT “Shorty” “Full pleasant and amiable.” “Pinafore” (2); “Pepita” (3); “Miss Cherryblossom” (4); Glee Club (2, 3). Walter is our “basso profundo” who sings the scary songs in the operettas. He has been in three of them while in high school, and who will forget him as “Togo” in “Miss Cherryblossom”?
